Cancer has become the 2nd leading cause of death in the United States, only behind heart disease. And it appears that it has reached this position directly proportional to the way Americans eat and the stress that fills our lives. Though I did not fall into the worst category in eating habits, my lifestyle was not one that was especially health conscious and at the age of 49 I was diagnosed with multi-foci breast cancer in July of 2007. The medical world promised me nothing but surgery as a solution; they even did not offer me the option of chemo and radiation. Everything inside me knew that I had to get to the root of this disease and wipe it out!
Cancer, as you might already know, is very simply explained as malformed and deformed cells that are reproducing at a phenomenal rate which cause tumors, cysts, etc. The average person carries about 2500 of these type cells on any given day, but they are no problem for a healthy immune system. It is when the immune system is underfed and undernourished so poorly that it cannot perform its duties of protection to the rest of the body that infection and deterioration begin to snowball and cause big problems.
For our purposes we want to look at cancer very simply. There is no reason to get technical, for the average person we can look at it that like the good, live cells against the bad, malformed cells, and we must now determine in our mind that we only want the live cells to be fed and so we focus on that. As they get stronger they overtake and destroy the bad cells, which are then washed out of the system! This sounds like a war – and that’s just what is going on inside your body, and We are going to Win!
Radiation and Chemo has been suggested to some of you. Radiation consists of microwaves that penetrate the body and attempt to kill the bad cells off. The only problem is that it also kills off many of the good cells and this causes much deterioration in the body, and studies show there is NO guarantee about the results. Chemo attempts to do the same thing only with harsh chemicals injested into the body. Of course this process will inflict the chemicals throughout the entire system. The third alternative is surgery. In some cases this can be relatively simple, but as you know, all surgery involves risks. In my case, the doctors and surgeon said only a double mastectomy would be the answer. Very happily they were proved wrong in less than a year! I can’t recommend the same timetable for everyone because we are all different, but the following changes were what I did within that year, that saved my life! And if you choose one of these three traditional treatments, the power of the natural treatment can be used right along with whatever you choose and you will get better effects in your body.
Cancer cells are deformed cells and they feed on sugar of any type, flour of any type, and processed foods with artificial ingredients; those ingredients that with names so long you can’t pronounce them. These foods are considered poison to our bodies and so do not eat them! Get used to reading the labels on EVERYTHING you buy and you can get started right now with the food you have in your cupboard. Go through everything looking for these ingredients and then give what you find away to someone who can handle it. (Nobody should eat this really!)
The next action to take is to start drinking filtered water, if you aren’t already. You will need to put a filter under one of the sinks in your home so that fresh, filtered water is always available. Bottled water is better than tap water, but the level of purity is still not as good as the filtered. Think about it, you are going to be washing those bad cells continually from your body and you need clear, clean water to do that with. It is well worth the investment. You will need to make sure that you drink at least 80 oz. a day, in addition to your juice and tea. Green tea and Esiak tea are both excellent in fighting cancer. Coffee is out because of its level of acidity and it disrupts the whole system for days.
By starting with the first two steps, you are already working toward another vital step in this fight and that is to get your ph level in your system, to 7.4 or above. This will put your system in an alkaline state and disease cannot grow in alkalinity. Diseases must have a degree of acidity to multiply. Anything less than 7.4 is acidic and therefore not helpful, but harmful to your body. You can check the level every morning and night with a drop of saliva on litmus paper that you can find at your pharmacy. Depending on how you have been eating, alkalinity will take a few weeks to accomplish and then you will maintain the level. Check online for an alkaline/acid food lists and make it your lifestyle because it is going to save your life. To maintain an alkaline system eat a diet of vegetables, chicken, wild salmon and other fish, occasional turkey and beef, and seeds and fruits for snacks and most importantly, juicing. Then once a day have a protein shake with whey protein. I usually have one for breakfast. Regardless of what others may tell you, you have to keep up a healthy, protein-filled diet because you want to keep the live cells in good shape to fight off the bad cells! How can a fasting, malnourished cell fight the fight!?
If stress is a factor in your life, find a way to cut it down. Stress produces acidity in the body also. I will suggest that you will need to do some deep breathing in the morning and at night. A deep breath – which fills your entire gut and lungs and is exhaled sloooowy will put oxygen into the blood system, and disease cannot live in oxygen, so we add as much oxygen as possible to the blood. You can do this throughout the day for even better oxygenation; just whenever you think about it. Chances are it will help reduce stress levels too.
If you can exercise, 20 minutes a day is very good to keep your system moving and eliminating the dead cells.
You will need to get a small fruit and vegetable juicer if you do not already have one. This is extremely important in feeding your good, live cells because the fresh vegetables and fruits do not have to be torn down and digested like the whole pieces. This allows the nutrients to get right into your system and nourish the good cells. Fresh juicing is the best and easiest way to keep your system in alkaline too. Usually a couple times a day will be fine.
Check my article entitled Best Juicing Recipes for suggestions on combinations. For fighting cancer make sure to include plenty of carrots, beets, cabbage, and cucumbers. Check whfoods.com to get nutritional content.
I would suggest reading up on free radicals and how they work in your body. Then antioxidants will be right in there with that. Antioxidants prohibit the free radicals and this is what you want. It is these free radicals that break off and form the malformed cells.
Below are some vitamins and supplements that will enhance your immune system and allow it to fight back with more strength. My suggestions are to begin with what is listed below. You can then increase the dosage, and add or subtract according to your individual needs.
–
Vitamin C – take up to 5000mg; increasing to 10,000mg over a month. I like the crystallized which you can add in juice.
–
Vitamin E – another anti-oxidant which carries nutrients (1000 – 3000mg)
–
Selenium – anti-oxidant – take up to 800mg; take 3x a day.
–
A liquid multi vitamin which includes vitamins, minerals and zinc. Liquid is better here because it is more easily absorbed than pills or capsules.
–
Cats claw – 1 capsule 3x a day. Known to fight cancer cells.
–
Good cell builder – check with your health food store; to strengthen the good cells.
–
Omega 3 – 2000 – 5000mg. a day; take 3x a day. Heart and blood vessel friendly.
–
CoQ10 – up to 1200mg; take 3x a day. Antioxidant + heart friendly.
If you need an extra boost to get your system in alkaline – try some barley or alfalfa capsules. They are very alkaline producing.
Every other month I would suggest a body cleanse, but the liver will be in overtime processing the malformed cells so try Milk Thistle, as directed, to keep the liver cleansed all the time.
Keep up on treatment, by researching on the Web or in recent publications. Knowledge of Natural Nutrition and healing has changed much in the past 10 years! Use this as a guide and with more knowledge you can adjust your treatment accordingly.
And please investigate anything I have said here. This is from my own research and what worked for me. Every system is different.
Remember to keep your eyes on God, your Creator.
Block all negativity that tries to come to you and forbid it around you.
Stay Positive and Laugh Often! Laughing releases endorphins which enable your hormone system. And this is good! God Bless!
